Das Boot starts in autumn 1942, as U-boat warfare becomes increasingly brutal. While a very young crew put out to sea on a dangerous combat patrol, the Résistance rises in the U-boat port of La Rochelle.

The eight-episode event series is inspired by the Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated film by Wolfgang Petersen and Lothar-Günther Buchheim’s bestselling novel of the same name. It’s set to premiere at the end of 2018 in Sky territories Germany, Austria, Italy, UK and Ireland. Co-production partner Sonar Entertainment will handle international distribution in the rest of the world.
